👍👍 I had a tour guide tell us that if we rubbed the nose of Tunnes we would get good luck in love, and if we rubbed the nose of Shal we would get good luck in money. It sounded like a silly story to make the statues more interesting, but I met my future husband the day after I rubbed Tunnes's nose (no... People often mention luck, Cologne,

    This sculpture stands in tribute to two characters from the puppet theatre tradition of Cologne. The sculptures are cartoonish and to be honest, unless you’re immersed in the local culture, I can only say that they’re okay.

    They are hidden in a back area, but not difficult to get to. It is said they represent the general population of Cologne, and that rubbing their noses brings luck! That is why their noses are so bright...

    Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Good range of vegan options, which were clearly marked. We loved the vegan tomato soup, although it was a shame that it does not come with bread/butter. Would certainly recommend

    We were a group of 8, all had drinks except ONE who also had food. The waiter, man in his 40-50s with gray hair and beard and glasses, messed up the ONE food order our table placed and then started to make a fuss about it instead of just getting the correct food. Afterwards he still charged for the incorrect order the HE messed up and refused to remove it. Absolutely terrible service from an absolutely terrible person with a terrible attitude. You had ONE food order and you messed it up. I do NOT recommend!

    They are is not accepting cards (visa/master card etc). Also, they are informing you regarding this until is time to pay. Bad attitude of the staff. Bad food. 1 star because I can not put 0. . . PS COVID measures are not followed.

    Didn’t know their backstory until we got back to the Hotel. However, our daughter rubbed both their noses for good luck.

    (Translated by Google) Cologne originals - they shouldn't be missing on a tour through Cologne. The two figures Tünnes and Schäl are a bit hidden in the backyard. In any case, rub your nose - brings luck. There are other great sights and information about the city's history in the vicinity. (Original) Kölsche Originale - die dürfen bei einer Tour durch Köln nicht fehlen. Die zwei Figuren Tünnes und Schäl stehen etwas versteckt im Hinterhof. Auf jeden Fall die Nase reiben - bringt Glück. In der näheren Umgebung findet man weitere tolle Sehenswürdigkeiten und Informationen zur Stadtgeschichte.

    The possibility of achieving love or success in the statues of Tunnes and Schal in Cologne. Visit and make your choice.

    (Translated by Google) The two are not monuments to real people! There are two characters from the Hänneschen puppet theater. I don't think that this is clear to some tourists It doesn't matter either ... the main thing is that you enjoy it to rub on the figures 😂😂😂 (Original) Die beiden sind keine Denkmäler von realen Personen! Es sind zwei Figuren aus dem Hänneschen-Puppentheater. Ob das so einigen Touristen klar ist, glaube ich nicht😂 Es ist auch egal....Hauptsache sie haben Spaß daran an den Figuren zu reiben 😂😂😂
